Question

Answer the following questions by using simple equations:-

1) The sum of four consecutive numbers is 26. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The four consecutive numbers are 5, 6, 7, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The sum of four consecutive numbers is 26

To find:

The smallest number

Consecutive numbers- Number next to each other.

Let the four consecutive number be

x, (x + 1), (x + 2), (x + 3)

Now,

According to the question,

Their sum is 26

So the equation formed is

⇒ x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 26

⇒ 4x + 6 = 26

⇒ 4x = 26 - 6

[By transporting 6 to RHS]

⇒ 4x = 20

⇒ x = 20 ÷ 4

[By transporting 4 to RHS]

⇒ x = 5

So,

First number is x = 5

Others are

x + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6

x + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7

x + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8

,

therefore:-The four consecutive numbers are 5, 6, 7, 8
